smoking, running rough, chokes out and stalls

Post by ylbill »

okay, car was running fine before taking off air intake line and throttle body heater so that I could clean them up a bit. Didn't think this would mess anything up, but now the car blowing smoke and runs rough, chokes out and stalls. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

doubt if the throttle body heater is the culprit. check your plenum for cracks, leaks, etc. make sure you didnt knock something loose in the removal process, sparkplug wire, small cannister hose. you didnt remove any of the ground wires on the throttle body box by any chance.

All set thanks. Forgot to make the plug connection. A little embarrassing, but I like those quick easy fixes. Running fine now!
